Not sure if I was the first to find the Black issues on the Holy Grail of collectors items, but Feb 1975 I hit a store in New York and found Dean Courtney, Lorraine Chandler, Ray Paige, Paul Anka, Metros...in fact around 60 titles. The same day I found 25 Ila Vann issues on Roulette.

All flogged at the Mecca a week later for around 8-12 quid each. Anyone remember?

Don`t remember that kev, as i was just a whippersnapper in short trousers around that time but certainly in 78 when i started putting my black stock collection together, they seemed pretty easy to come by. Remember dave withers at w/c saying to me as i walked in the record bar "Ive got something for youy harry" a nice WILLIE KENDRICKS £25, used to get a lot of my rca stockers off dave withers. Took me an age to get a DEAN COURTNEY though-HARRY

SAW A LOVELY MAN WITHOUT A WOMAN ISSUE THE OTHER DAY

Coincidentally, I had a box of Mint Black Stockers of Micheal & Raymond in my hand only last week (must have been 8-9 copies).

Sean

Faye Crawford is particularly tough on issue, although not impossible.

Bought two rca issues at wigan, early morning off a lad just coming in, they didn't reach the record bar, still have them, Roy Hamilton-Crackin up, Percy Wiggins-It didn't take much, both black rca off course.(£2 each).

over the years i've seen most of the rca stuff on stock copies, however, i can honestly say i've never seen beverley ann - he's coming home , dean courtney - we have a good thing or roy hamilton - you shook me up on stockers, also never seen h.b. burnum - hurts too much to cry on a demo

Paul Anka - I Can't Help Loving You

& Roy Hamilton - Crackin' Up Over You

I'm going to scan these again as these were done years ago with my old scanner

trust you roger whetted my apetite:lol:

I must admit Ted, when I bought it from Soul Bowl, I really didn't realise how rare it was.

Always attracted to the R.C.A. stuff & turns out the only time I have ever had a chance of owning a copy in 41 years collecting.

You'll never see an HB Barnum demo - there ain't any!

Without a doubt a rarest "stock" copy is Susan Barrett "Whats It Gonna Be"

Followed by Willie Kendricks & Dean Courtney:hatsoff2:

Had a couple over the years malc, funny thing is with these, its like ted with lorraine chandler, ive seen a few of those, but as i said it took me ages to get a Dean courtney issue, whereas after i`d bought a copy others told me they had it, suppose its being in the right place at the right time really

I had a spare stock copy of Susan Barrett back in the 70s.

I got some good trades off Martin Koppell for it at the time.

The 1st Micheal & Raymond I saw was in the mid 90s at the Birch in Ashton (Tim Brown's).

After that I have seen it a good few times.

Dave.

Quite a few of the Modern RCA stock copy's are bloody scarce too & far more common on demo's.

Things like Kalyan - Just Let Me Love You One More Time, Trumains - Ripe For The Picking & the ridiculously rare issue of The Creators - Just You And Me.

The reason I asked was I Just bought a Carolyn Cooke - I dont mind - Stock copy

I had never seen one before.

As stated when we were nattering earlier H , the last SB WD I found , was five years ago in a shitty run down store in Santa Monica .

The stock was going for either a dollar and 50 cents each , and after picking up pile after pile of crap , I came across the stated SB WD , complete in company sleeve .

I pulled the disc out of the sleeve to check the condition ........ and it had a large chunk missing ....... which was not in the sleeve

Which are the rarest of the RCA Stock copies and which of the White demos have you never seen a stock copy of to the point you dont think it existed!

I have a Black issue of Metros "Since I found My Baby". RCA

But I think it one of the few RCA's where the White Demo is slightly rarer.

There was a quantity of Black issues found in the early 80's.

Got most of them

Never seen a Gia Mateo issue

only ever seen 2 interplay issues

only seen 4 Don Rays

This subject was covered on here about 18 months ago, but has more coverage on this one

Have seen lots of willie kendrick issues over the years by the way

Mate of mine bought a Creators issue at Rock City(mid 80s) took me well over 10 years to get one myself and they are the only ones i have seen for sale,great ballad flip not on the demo.

Edited August 24, 201014 yr by NCFC

PERSONALLY HAVE SEEN FAR LESS BLACK ISSUES OF THE LIKES OF CAROLYN COOKE, THE INSIDERS 45'S AND FREDDIE PARIS THERE SHE GOES, THAN ANY OF THE SO CALLED BIG HITTERS ON THE LABEL.

Very nice.

Never seen or even heard the other side of the Creators issue.

Took me long enough to track down a demo.

Have we found the rarest RCA issue here???

I think your right, i got my issue of Soul bowl early 80`s & paid £3 for it, well technically Mr Hubbard sent off for them & kept the white demo for himself ..... so Ive always assumed the demo was rarer

Took me years to find this !!

Ian.

Insiders is surprisingly difficult on a stock copy as mentioned above. Another example where the demo is extremely commonplace but the issue is appreciably harder to come by is Kenny Carter "Don't Go." The other Kenny Carter RCA Victor 45s are relatively frequently seen on issues, but 'Don't Go' seems, to me at least, extremely elusive.

Very nice.

I put the flip in refro a while back(sweet and deep thread) and the flip of the Trumains which is only on the issue.
